Transport Properties of the Binary System L-(+)-Tartaric Acid-Water at 25 °C. A Velocity Correlation Study Maria Castaldi, Gerardino D’Errico, Luigi Paduano, and Vincenzo Vitagliano* Dipartimento di Chimica Dell’Universita` di Napoli, Federico II, Via Mezzocannone 4, 80134 Napoli, Italy

Accurate mutual diffusion and intradiffusion coefficients have been measured for the binary system L-(+)tartaric acid (2)-water (1) at 25 °C. The collected diffusion coefficients have been combined with osmotic coefficients present in the literature to calculate the velocity correlation coefficients (VCC’s). The results have been interpreted in terms of molecular interactions.

Introduction This research is part of a program devoted to the study of equilibrium and transport properties of the quaternary system ethanol-glucose-L-(+)-tartaric acid-water, with the aim to test the theory that some of us developed in the past (Vitagliano et al., 1992), giving criteria for both static and dynamic gravitational stability of diffusion boundaries with four (or more) components. In the preliminary phase of this study we have been collecting a set of data on the corresponding binary and ternary systems. We have already analyzed the system glucose-water (Castaldi et al., 1998). In this work, we remeasured densities for the binary system L-(+)-tartaric acid (2)-water (1) in the composition range approaching saturation. Furthermore, for the same system, we measured mutual diffusion and intradiffusion coefficients. These data are not present in the literature, to the authors’ knowledge. The data have been discussed in terms of velocity correlation coefficients (VCC’s), that show how the macroscopic thermodynamic properties are affected by the solution structure at the molecular scale. L-(+)-Tartaric acid is a weak diprotic acid [K1 ) 9.268 × 10-4 mol dm-3 and K2 ) 4.305 × 10-5 mol dm-3 (Robinson and Stokes, 1955)]. Figure 1 shows the fraction of the various species present in solution, computed using these Ki values, drawn as a function of the square root of the stoichiometric tartaric acid molality. The experimental techniques allow an exhaustive examination in the region where the dissociated species concentration is not appreciable (m > 0.09 mol kg-1), although measurements were also made in the more dilute composition range. Experimental Section Materials. L-(+)-Tartaric acid purchased from Sigma Chemical Co. (99.5% purity) was used without further purification. All solutions were prepared by mass using double-distilled water. In all calculations the molecular weight of L-(+)-tartaric acid was assumed to be 150.1 g mol-1. Density Measurements. A set of density measurements were taken in the molality range 0-9 mol kg-1 with an Anton Paar 602 densimeter. * Corresponding author. Fax: chemna.dichi.unina.it.

The temperature of the densimeter was regulated at (25.00 ( 0.01) °C. For the densimeter calibration, air (at measured pressure and humidity) and distilled water, assumed density 0.997 044 kg dm-3 (Lo Surdo et al., 1982), were chosen. The data, collected in Table 1, are in very good agreement with previous literature data (Thomsen, 1885; Dunstan and Thole, 1908). The experimental error is within (1-2) × 10-5 kg dm-3. The coefficients of the polynomial equation fitted to the densities are given in Table 2. Figure 2 shows the deviation of experimental data from this equation. The limiting partial molar volume of undissociated L-(+)-tartaric acid was computed by interpolating the apparent molar volume of solute with a threeterm polynomial, neglecting the first two experimental

Mutual diffusion coefficients were measured with a Gouy diffusiometer (Gosting, 1950; Tyrrell and Harris, 1984) using a two-lens apparatus in which parallel light passing through a single-channel cell generates the fringe pattern on its focus. The initial boundary was formed with the siphoning technique. The light source was a Unifas PHASE 0.8-nW neon-helium laser operating at λ ) 632.8 nm. A Model “II fx” MacIntosh computer was used to control the scanning apparatus and to determine fringe positions from fringe intensity profiles. The mutual diffusion coefficients D12 were calculated using a series of programs well described in the literature (Albright and Miller, 1989; Miller et al., 1992). The experimental data, in the molality range 0-9 mol kg-1, are collected in Table 3. The experimental error is within (1-2) × 10-3 cm2 s-1. The coefficients of the polynomial equation fitted to the mutual diffusion coefficients in the molality range where the tartaric acid dissociation is negligible are given in Table 2. This equation was computed by least squares excluding the four diffusion data measured in the most diluted solutions where dissociation is appreciable. The experimental data and the polynomial trend are shown in Figure 3. The constant term, 0.701 × 10-5, can be assumed as the limiting diffusion coefficient of undissociated tartaric acid, D∞12(AcH2). Intradiffusion Measurement. The intradiffusion measurements were made using the pulsed gradient spin-echo (PGSE) FT-NMR method (Stilbs, 1987; Callaghan, 1991; Weinga¨rtner, 1994). Experiments were carried out on a Varian FT 80 NMR spectrometer operating in the 1H mode, equipped with a pulsed magnetic field gradient unit, specially made by Stelar (Mede, Italy). The temperature was controlled to within (0.1 °C with a Stelar variabletemperature controller model VTC87. By using a pulse sequence where the echo delays are fixed and only the gradient pulse lengths are varied, the effects of relaxation

674 Journal of Chemical and Engineering Data, Vol. 44, No. 4, 1999 The PGSE-NMR method requires the presence of a deuterated substance as reference, in the measurement region. For aqueous solutions two different methods have been alternatively used. In the first method the measurements were carried out on solutions prepared with undeuterated solvent, using the coaxial tubes (Wilmad model WGS-5BL) with C6D6 as external reference and lock. In dilute solutions, the water signal can be so strong it hinders the other ones. The second method used D2O as solvent. This procedure, enhancing the signal intensity of the solute, allows us to analyze very dilute solutions. On the other hand it introduces some errors owing to the isotope effects on the intradiffusion rate. In this case a correction is needed to obtain the corresponding values in light water. Hertz (Goldammer and Hertz, 1970) proposed to multiply the experimental results measured in D2O by the factor 1.23, which is the ratio of intradiffusion coefficients of normal and deuterated water, as well as the reciprocal of the ratio of their viscosities. In principle, this correction neglects the possible differences in the interactions of these two solvents with the solute. In fact, D2O is thought to be slightly more structured than H2O (Nemethy and Scheraga, 1964), so that the hydrophobic effect and the formation of hydrogen bonds could be favored. As a consequence, the ratio of solute intradiffusion coefficients in D2O and H2O can also depend on the solute nature and concentration. The two different techniques were applied with the aim of testing the correctness of this correction for the L-(+)tartaric acid-water system. A good agreement was found between the two sets of measurements. A single polynomial interpolated both sets of experimental data. The polynomial coefficients are reported in Table 2. In the same measurement sets D/OH values were determined. Since the proton exchange between L-(+)-tartaric acid OH’s and water is much faster than the single spinecho sequence, the D/OH value is a mean value that can be split between L-(+)-tartaric acid and water contributions according to the expression

The experimental error is within (1-2) × 10-2 cm2 s-1. The D/1 data obtained from the two experimental sets fit a polynomial whose coefficients are collected in Table 2.

The diffusion coefficient D12 can be obtained multiplying M by the thermodynamic term B, accounting for the fact that the actual diffusion driving force is not the concentration gradient but the chemical potential gradient:

The thermodynamic factor was straighforwardly computed by differentiating the logarithm of solvent activity, ln a1, obtained from literature osmotic data (Robinson et al., 1942), with respect to ln x1, where x1 is the stoichiometric water mole fraction. The term B(x2) was well fitted by the equation

D12 ) RAc2-D12(Ac2-) + RAcH-D12(AcH- ) + RAcH2D12(AcH2) (15) where the Ri values are the fractions of each species present at the given molalities and DAcH2 was taken from the polynomial whose coefficients are reported in Table 2. Equation 15 is quite approximate; however, a good agreement was found in the range of overlapping between experimental and computed values. This can be seen in Figure 4. Discussion Mutual diffusion coefficients D12 and thermodynamic diffusion coefficients DT are shown in Figure 5 drawn as a function of the solute mole fraction. Inspection of Figure 5 shows that both mutual and thermodynamic diffusion coefficients decrease with the mole fraction of solute, while the thermodynamic factors increase with x2 (Table 2). This gives evidence that the mobility contribution prevails on ruling the behavior of diffusion coefficients. An opposite effect can be found in

some systems, such as surfactant solutions, where both thermodynamic and diffusion coefficients decrease with solute concentration, while mobilities increase (Leaist, 1986; Paduano et al., 1997). Computing the velocity cross-correlation coefficients, VCC’s (McCall and Douglass, 1967; Mills and Hertz, 1980), a deeper insight into the system characteristics can be obtained. VCC’s are more sensitive to specific interactions than the experimental diffusion coefficients and allow an analysis from the microscopic point of view (Weinga¨rtner, 1990; Ambrosone et al., 1995). The phenomenological coefficients can be expressed in terms of time integrals over velocity correlation functions, which give access to a more direct kinetic interpretation of observed physical quantities. The intradiffusion coefficient D/i of component i can be defined as (Steele, 1969)

where Mi is the molecular weight of component i and B(x1) is the thermodynamic factor in the mole fraction scale, as defined by eq 7. According to Hertz’s (1982) approach, formulas for standard velocity cross correlation coefficients f°ij can be derived, by using the law of effective linear momentum conservation and applying the ideal mixing rule:

The quantities f°ij are representative of a fictitious ideal reference system formed by non-interacting components; in their computation the mutal diffusion coefficient, accounting for the global motion of the species in the system, is not involved. The relationship between the fij and f°ij coefficients play the role of indicator for the molecular association effects. As discussed in detail elsewhere (Mills and Hertz, 1980; Weinga¨rtner, 1990), molecular association should lead to more correlated motions then those expected for an “ideal” system. The general association criterion is

fij > f°ij

(23)

The VCC’s and the corresponding standard correlation coefficients are reported in Figure 6. Inspection of Figure 6 shows that f22 coincides almost exactly with f°22, which implies, according to eq 23, that there is no self-association between L-(+)-tartaric acid molecules.

On the contrary the interactions L-(+)-tartaric acidwater and water-water appear to be sensible. The existence of the interaction water-water is suggested by the observation that f11 is larger than the corresponding f°11. Furthermore, according to the results shown in Figure 6, the interaction between L-(+)-tartaric acid and water seems to be the larger effect. This interaction is reflected in the behavior of f12: in fact f12 . f°12 in the whole range of explored concentration, stressing the presence of strong cross-associations between solute and water. These evidences can be imputed to the strong hydrophilic behavior of L-(+)-tartaric acid, whose molecule can form hydrogen bonds with water. The solvent molecules participating in the L-(+)-tartaric acid hydration shell interact strongly among themselves, thus explaining the enhanced water-water interactions. Literature Cited Albright, G.
